6 Shapes of Bone

Sutural Bones,


Irregular Bones,


Short Bones,


Flat Bones,


Sesamoid Bones

Sutural Bones

Small, irregular bones,


Found between the flat bones of the skull

Irregular Bones

Have complex shapes,


Spinal vertebrae and pelvic bones

Short Bones

Small thick bones,


Wrist bones (carpels),


Ankle bones (tarsals)

Long Bones

Long and thin,


Found in arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, toes

Sesamoid Bones

Small and flat,


Develop inside tendons near joints of knees, hands, and feet


Epiphysis

Wide part at each end,


Articulation with other bones,


Mostly Spongy Bone,


Covered with compact bone


Metaphysis

Where the diaphysis and Epiphysis meet

Diaphysis

The shaft,


The heavy wall of compact bone or dense bone,


Has a central space called the medullary cavity


Periosteum

Covers the outer part of Bone,


Isolates bone from surrounding tissue,


Provides route for blood vessels and nerves,


Takes part in bone growth and repair

2 layers of Periosteum

Fibrous Layer,


Cellular layer

Fibrous Layer

Contains blood vessels and nerves

Cellular Layer

Singular layer of cells that give rise to osteoblast

Compact Bone

Deep to the Periosteum,


Superficial to the spongy bone,


Dense bone that contains parallel osteons


Spongy bone

Also called Cancellous Bone,


Deep to the Compact Bone,


Forms a meshwork of supporting bundles of fibers called trabeculae



Trabeculae

The meshwork that makes up spongy bone

Bone Composition

Bone is made up of a matrix and several types of cells

Bone Matrix

Very dense and contains deposits of calcium salts

Calcium Phosphate

Makes up 2/3rds of bone matrix

Collagen Fibers (proteins)

Makes up 1/3rd of bone matrix

2% of bone mass

are made up by bone cells

4 Bone cells

Osteocytes,


Osteoblasts,


Osteoprogenitor cells


Osteoclasts

Osteoprogenitor Cells

Squamous stem cells that divide to produce daughter cells that differentiate into osteoblasts

Osteoblasts

Immature cells that secret matrix compounds also know as osteoid. Once completely surrounded by bone matrix, they become osteocytes

Osteocytes

Mature bone cells,


Live in lacunae,


Between layers of lamellae,


Connected by canaliculi,


Do not divide

Lacunae

A pocket which holds the osteocyte, sandwiched between layers of bone matrix

Lamellae

The layers of matrix surrounding lucunae and canaliculi

Canaliculi

Narrow passageways penetrating the lamellae, connecting lununae with one another and connecting lucunae with the central canal,


allowing the exchange of nutrients and minerals.

Osteoclasts

Multi Nucleated,


Absorb and remove bone matrix through osteolysis

Osteolysis

Acids and protein-digestive enzymes secreted by osteoclasts dissolving the bone matrix and releasing it's stored minerals.

Central Canal

Found at the center of an osteon containing one or more blood vessels that carry blood to and from the osteon

Perforating canals

Extend perpendicular to the surround surface holding blood vessels that supply blood to osteons deeper in the tissue and to tissues of the medullary cavity.

Medullary Cavity

The space in between bone that contains marrow


Endosteum

an incomplete cellular layer that lines the medullary cavity, the trabeculae in spongy bone, and the surfaces of the central canals found in compact bone.

6th Step of Endochondral Ossification

Epiphyses fills with spongy bone,


The metaphysis is currently the epiphyseal cartlage/plate,


It now separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis,


Chondrocytes are organized by Zones

Zones of chondrocytes

Osteoblasts move up diaphysis replacing cartilage with bone,


Chondrocytes degenerate on diaphysis side,


Chondrocytes divide and enlarge on epiphyseal side

Step 7 of Endochondral Ossification

At puberty,


Cartilage production slows and osteoblast accelerate,


Epiphyseal cartilage ultimately disapears,


Epiphyseal line remains once epiphyseal growth has stopped

Epiphyseal Closure

An event that results the epiphyseal cartilage gets more and more narrow, until it disappears

Epiphyseal Line

Line created when epiphyseal growth has stopped,


The former location of the epiphyseal cartilage

Articular Cartilage

At the end of endochondral ossification a thin cap of the original cartilage remains exposed to the joint cavity,


It prevents damaging the joint from bone to bone contact.
